I picked up the phone and as soon as I did, the person on the other end just hung up straight away. I've blocked the number since then.

Received a call today from someone saying they were with my network, but it was a total scam.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, so I looked it up and the company was totally unfamiliar to me. Seems like they were probably trying to get me to sign up for something I definitely don’t need or want.

Got a call from 01592 421984, which I think is from Kirkcaldy. It showed up as possible spam, so I just ignored it and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything.

Said they were from Domestic and General, but total scammers. Don’t trust them!

Got a missed call earlier and decided to call back. When the bloke answered, he said “Hello, how can I assist?” but then just went quiet. I stayed on the phone for like two minutes but then the call dropped. Weird situation.

Got a robocall message that said, "Thanks, get back to us when you can. Can't wait to chat with you."

I had a dodgy housing repair company after me, so I ended up reporting them both to ICO and Ofcom. Can't believe they got away with it for so long!

Got a call from a sales person who wouldn’t take no for an answer. I told them I wasn’t interested multiple times, but they kept ringing me again and again. Really annoying.

I saw it was marked as possible spam, so I just went ahead and blocked it...

Got a call from this number, but as we always do at home, we just didn’t pick up before knowing who it was. After checking online, we’re going to block it and put it on our blacklist to stop any more hassle.

They rang but didn’t leave any voicemail.

I got a call from 0131 326 9769 but didn’t pick up since I didn’t know the number. Let it go to voicemail but there was nothing there. The call just got disconnected.

The bloke called himself Harry and started asking about damp or mould in my flat. As soon as I asked where he got my info from, he just cut the call. Totally feels like a con to me.

Got a call from an unknown number, seemed dodgy so I just went ahead and blocked it.

Got a random call on the 4th of November 2026 out of the blue.

I got a call from some automated voice sayin there were charges on my Amazon account for £800 and £1000, and it asked me to confirm them. Definitely a scam!

My mum got this message about some direct debit being arranged and apparently some wrong details were mentioned. Seems like a total scam to me.

They didn't leave a message, so I've just blocked the number.

Got a call today from someone claiming they were with Three. Seemed fishy to me, like one of those dodgy scams. I didn’t give them any info and just hung up. Watch out folks, these fake phone reps are everywhere now.

Beware that this AI system might be recording calls. It's worth checking what risks are there when scammers capture your voice and then use AI to mimic it - even your answerphone messages can be copied. Also, find out if blocking numbers really stops scam calls, because it’s not always effective. Regarding the TPS, make sure to read through every page on their site carefully before registering, and consider who might have access to that list. The best way to tackle scams is to report them directly to the police and OfCom, who have proper systems in place to log and investigate these issues - these were introduced by the previous government. You can text the details, including silent calls and the number, to 7726 and confirm when prompted. Don't forget to use your phone’s spam reporting tool too. After that, share your experience here to warn others. Look up info on 7726 and '[email protected]' to learn more about how to report suspicious calls, texts and emails properly.

Phone just kept ringing then cut off, no voicemail or anything, so I’m guessing it was one of those auto dialler calls.

Just got a call from someone saying they were an energy advisor, then a few hours later, nearly the same number rang me again - only the last two digits were different. Felt kinda fishy to me.

Got yet another nuisance call. After checking what others said, I’ve blocked the number straight away.

Got a random ring on my old direct line, didnt pick up. Just blocked the number straight away. Such a pain!
